If this job ever starts I may have to treat them to the alessi bowl lol. We bought a cheap food bowl back from Disneyland paris when we went there last - it's the waterbowl for the third floor of the house

Mine all got treated to a new bowl each from my holiday in Newquay; that's right, I came home loaded down with three lovely ceramic black bowls, a large one for their water, some cat toys and some treats......

That's ok JS I brought 2 cat bowls all the way back from Disney World in Florida though thankfully they were melamine not ceramic

Crazy. I love these Alessi bowls but cant justify the money (£39.99)!

Those are the bowls my sister has for her cat, Murphy. :shy:Well, for when he's at home. When he comes to visit us and they stay with my sisters partners mum he has another designer effort that's a piece of wood shaped like a fish containing two metal bowls.

Mark, why sarcasm? Clearly you can see the product is worth that much?

Bargain!

I use the shallow mason cash (?) ceramic bowls. They do the job.

I agree with something I read that cats don't like sides of dishes touching their whiskers

I have read that too (and one of the reasons I use shallow bowls) but funny how that never stops them sticking their heads in a yogurt pot!

I still have a couple of these after Dawn F recommended them a few years ago. I use them for dry food sometimes but I agree with something I read that cats don't like sides of dishes touching their whiskers - the tesco plates are perfect. I have seen some funny-looking plates that are just a series of ridges that are supposed to be for persians but probably good for any cat.

ikea soup plates here - think I bought a load at 20p each... they do break every so often but still have well over a dozen left.

I use these enamel camping plates for their food, indestructable - which is very necessary as I tend to drop china etc on a regular basis!

I've had these plates for 20+ years - the same ones. The only damage has been a couple of chips in the enamel, and only then have I replaced.

And for their water they have bespoke drinking bowls - designed and made by me

A friend of mine has this cat bowl and when I said I wanted one and he told me the price I soon changed my mind. Would rather waste the money on a bed Bonnie won't sleep in or a toy she won't play with.
